As of today we are dispensing with our old listserv. We now have a brand new website with all kinds of ways that you can communicate with each other.

If you sign up for a profile, you will instantly become a MAP member and will be able to post videos, audio, and images. There's even a blog for you to use. There are member message boards and a really cool Project Manager function that you will not want to live without.

If you just want to remain on this list to keep up with events you don't need to do anything different. Just sit back and enjoy the stream of information that'll come your way.

The BEST way to find out what is going on will be to visit www.themap.org regularly. Members are already posting new things as you read this.
